Three shapes constructed from cubes are presented. The challenge is to find the smallest ‘keyhole’ that the blocks will fit through, provided ‘turning’ is not allowed. This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3 and could be used as an extension to the topic of 2D representations of 3D shapes.

This resource contains seven instant maths ideas for students to use LOGO to explore the properties of regular shapes, polygons and circles. Students write repeating procedures to explore the nature of tessellation when creating wallpaper designs and using problem solving skills to produce a simple animation. The...

A four by four grid is shown. The challenge is to find polygons with an area of exactly two square units. As additional challenges finding different types of triangles is posed as a problem, followed by pentagons and hexagons. The problem can be approached by counting squares, though some knowledge of how to find...
